Requests for deletions

high

Attention administrators: This message is appearing because there are more than 20 open requests at Wikidata:Requests for deletions. Please consider helping with the backlog.

Any discussion with no reply for a week will automatically moved to Archive by Hazard-bot or Revibot I.

If you are opening new thread about Revibot, go to Bot's talk page.

Admins: As long as you talk to me you reversed my admin action and why you did so, I do not object my admin actions being reversed.

If you request something here, I will make an entry on my personal To-Do management system with a reference to your request, and handle it in first-in first-out basis. I do try to do things as soon as possible but there is no guarantee.

Development

Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects:
- We are making progress with identifying additional ways in which we can reduce the number of irrelevant changes from Wikidata showing up in recent changes and watchlist on Wikipedia and co.
- We are discussing with pilot Wikipedias about turning on showing Wikidata changes by default in watchlist and recent changes (moving it from opt-in to opt-out)
GraphQL: We are putting the last touches on a GraphQL endpoint for Wikidata. We are planning to get it live later this month for feedback.
LDF endpoint: We are planning to decommission the endpoint in preparation for the migration away from Blazegraph on the 18th of February (phab:T415696)
Mobile statement editing:
- We are almost done with adding support for editing statements with quantity and monolingual text datatype and finished support for mathematical expression statements. We started support for editing coordinate statements.
- We are continuing the work on showing constraint violations.
Wikibase Ecosystem: We are in the process of setting up a demo system for ontology federation (i.e. using Wikidata Items as values in statements on another Wikibase instance)
